Running stop signs. Taking candy from children. Cheating at games. If you’re wealthy, chances are, you’re more likely to do all three. UC Berkeley social psychologist Paul Piff has run 30 studies on thousands of people around the United States.

This is the video portal of the United Nations Webcast that broadcasts daily, live and on demand video coverage over the Internet of United Nations meetings and events at Headquarters and major United Nations conferences at other locations...

Flynn Design's insight:

I just get goosebumps when I think of all of the women's lives who are positively affected by any one of the numerous United Nations Foundation's Initiatives. So many countries coming together to help so many women & children & families. I am so excited to be working with some of these teams and hope to make it to the Social Good Summit in New York to learn about how to be more effective.

Everyone has been asking what is the status of our tiny house. Well, given the rain we have had in SE Iowa over the past several weeks we are considering a slight structural modification which would morph the tiny house into an ARK!

Flynn Design's insight:

I've always wanted to live in a tiny house...preferably an Airstream teardrop trailer that we can take anywhere...but, my friend, Heather, is actually doing it...with her children...designing, building and living in their own little tiny house to help tiny-size our footprint on this precious earth of ours.

It’s not unusual for Arden to bring an act to Jackson that no one has heard of. Yet, many of those acts return again and again as they build a following here. He is also comfortable bringing in events with legends and superstars.

In 2012, Arden ended up presenting 160 different acts in about 40 shows, including acts like Kevin Costner and Modern West, Soul Asylum, Jackson Browne, Spyro Gyra, and Janice Ian. “The monumental event of the year was the Flaming Lips concerts and Wilco. It was an honor for us to do those dates.” It appears 2013 will be another great year as well.

At the beginning of the year, Arden had tickets on sale for about 13 shows and 20 more shows on the books.

Saying definitively what design is (and isn’t) seems quixotic at best, but two academics took a solid shot at it. Did they succeed? What is design? What makes it distinct from art, science, or engineering?

Flynn Design's insight:

I think "design" is that touch that spews up from inside of you and moulds that idea or object or type into something very individual and meaningful.

As the head of Google’s Doodle team, Ryan Germick has one of the coolest jobs in the world. His days often consist of brainstorming new ways of giving the huge tech giant personality, in the form of Doodles.

Some hospitals report a 50 percent increase in deliveries since free services for women were introduced last month, but experts say more needs to be done to tackle backstreet abortions, improve access to contraceptives and educate women (#Kenya’s...

Flynn Design's insight:

So humbled and thankful to have had the opportunity to work on some of mHealth's visual materials.

Logo Design is my favorite thing to do. When I am happiest (well...there are other times, too). Here's the process: #1 Ask LOTS of questions. #2 Research the market to make sure you know what the competition and history of the product/service is. #3 Find a quiet space with my sketchpad away from the computer and something to chew on (ideas always flow better when my mouth is occupied :)...I prefer Twizzlers or gummy bears. #4 Stare at a blank page. I actually do stare at a blank page. I like it :) and as the visions come to life in my head, my brain tells my hands what to do. Sometimes I send teasers to my client before they see the first presentation...I did in this case
